Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween
If you read the Goosebumps book series and are a fan of the stories and Slappy (or know someone who is) then you will want to pick up this title for the young adult in your life.
Once Upon a Deadpool
Once Upon a Deadpool is more of a companion piece rather than a replacement for Deadpool 2 as it doesn’t easily explain several of the plot points which are glossed over in this family-friendlier version.
Cliffhanger
If you are a Stallone fan and enjoy watching him as the action star he generally is then you would want to own this title in 4K
Bad Times at the El Royale
If you are a fan of Tarantino-esque type films then this is one you...it is an entertaining movie that requires viewing more than once to catch all the little nuances and details.
White Boy Rick
White Boy Rick is a solid effort that introduces Merritt and reminds us why we love McConaughey and the fact that it is based on a true story makes it all the more interesting.
A Simple Favor
Mix yourself a couple of martinis and settle in for a decently enjoyable few hours with A Simple Favor this holiday season.
Venom
Venom is a unique alien movie, consistent with the Marvel we all have come to love. We root for Venom and in return, we are rewarded with a rich relationship between Brock and Venom.
River Runs Red
The subject matter of River Runs Red is relevant and timely and it once again shines a light on an ugly problem we have in this country. However, the execution leaves a lot to be desired.
We, the Marines
We, the Marines made me feel a little of the pride these soldiers experience upon joining the Corps and offered a different perspective of what it means to be a Marine.
